ZERO TOLERANCE LAW

IF YOU'RE UNDER 21 YEARS OLD and have even a sip of alcohol, and you are caught driving, you'll get a 1 to 3 year suspension of your driver license.

REFUSAL TO SUBMIT TO A BLOOD ALCOHOL TEST is an admission of guilt to driving under the influence of alcohol.

IT'S ALL THE SAME

ONE CAN OF BEER,
ONE GLASS OF WINE, OR
A SHOT OF HARD LIQUOR
ALL CONTAIN ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF PURE ALCOHOL.
They all have the same effect on your body and mind.
